Title: Spectrum sensing with partial soft information feedback in a cognitive relay network
Inventor: WANG STEPHEN
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 2012-01-16
Abstract: A cognitive radio system comprises a source node 11 and at least one relay node 15a, 15b 15c. The relay node senses a radio spectrum to provide first sensing data indicating the availability of a signal channel at the relay node. The source node senses the radio spectrum to provide second sensing data indicating the availability of the signal channel at the source node. The source node or relay node generates a channel availability parameter based on the second or first sensing data, respectively. The channel availability parameter comprises fewer bits of information than whichever of the first or second sensing data is used to generate the channel availability parameter. The source node determines whether to send message information to the relay node based on a sensing result obtained by combining the channel availability parameter with whichever one of the first and second sensing data is not used to generate the channel availability parameter.

Title: Coordinated multipoint transmissions to a relay node
Inventor: SHARMA VIVEK
IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 2012-07-12
Abstract: The invention concerns transmitting signals from multiple remote and separate transmission points to a relay node 7, which combines the transmissions and relays them to a communications device such as a user equipment (UE) 3. The transmission points may, for example, from multiple eNBs (base stations) 5, or an eNB and a remote radio head (RRH) (6, Fig. 1a). The relay node may be configured in a first state, in which it receives data to be relayed from a single donor base station only, or in second state in which it receive transmissions to be relayed from multiple transmission points. These latter transmissions may use a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) protocol. The configuration information may be transmitted from a donor eNB. In one embodiment a network node, such as a mobility management entity (MME) 12, transmits a signal to be relayed to multiple donor eNBs which then act as transmission points in a CoMP system. In this arrangement the network node may maintain a multi-point transmission context module which identifies which donor base stations are to participate in a CoMP transmission. In yet another embodiment only a master donor base station provides proxy functionality to the relay node.

Title: A bicycle alignment device
Inventor: KETTLE MAXWELL DAVID
IPC: G01B11/275
Filed: 2014-05-27
Abstract: An alignment device for bicycle handlebars that enables them to be accurately aligned relative to the front wheel. The device includes a unitary body 3 and a laser beam emitter 5. The unitary body 3 includes a base portion 9 that enables the unitary body 3 to at least sit upon the handlebars 7. The base portion 9 provides the device with a stable and accurate foundation upon which the device is able to be operated by a user. The laser beam emitted creates a visible point of light wherever the beam makes contact with the front wheel, or the bicycle frame, or another component attached to the bicycle frame. The laser beam is perpendicular to the handlebars 7. The laser beam emitter 5 is capable of being rotated inside the unitary body 3 so that the angle of declination or inclination the laser beam, relative to the handlebars 7, is able to be changed by the user, thereby causing the visible point of light to be movable by the user. Using the laser beam, and by adjusting the beam's angle of declination or inclination, the user can then make fine adjustments to the alignment of the handlebars, relative to the front wheel, and/or another component that is mounted on the bicycle frame, relative to the bicycle frame. Mirrors can be used to allow the laser beam to be reflected on to another location of the bike that it would not be able to contact directly.
